You have it mostly right. Analysis of the main points of what makes a game good or bad are definitely what the review should be about, but don't underestimate the power of the synopsis. A brief summary can help put all of your claims into some sort of context. Remember, the people reading your review PROBABLY HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME YOU'RE REVIEWING.
I don't mean leaving out all synopsis, but just making it as brief as possible. Not only do I find long summary boring, but I've had pivotal moments ruined by reviewers going too far with plot related stuff.@easthill said:
Check out KillScreen. Especially the Fallout New Vegas and LA Noire review. I know if a game is for me by watching some gameplay, so I appreciate when a review goes the extra mile.
I checked out KillScreen's Fez review and couldn't stand it. It was ridiculously long.
